During the repair process, inspect these areas:
Inspect all the SRS wire harnesses. Replace, do not

repair, any damaged harnesses.
Inspect the cable reel for heat damage. If there is any
●
damage, replace the cable reel.
After the vehicle is completely repaired, turn the ignition
switch to ON (II). If the SRS indicator comes on for about
6 seconds and then goes off, the SRS is OK. If the
indicator does not function properly, use the HDS SRS
Menu Method to read the DTC, and refer to the 2008
Accord Service Manual. If you cannot retrieve a code, go
to SRS Symptom Troubleshooting in the appropriate
Accord Service Manual.
